Dear Donna,

Please accept my condolences on Bob's passing. I played football for him at St. Johns and at WPI and have always viewed him with the greatest respect, warmth, and admiration.

On a simple note, although I haven't seen Bob for many years, I miss his ready smile and words of encouragement.

My Thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time

Coach Devlin was an inspiration to countless young men who played for him at St. John'e Prep. He will always be remembered by those who had the privilege of having him as their coach, mentor, and role model. A wonderful person and intense competitor who knew how to instill his spirit in his players.

Dear Donna,
My prayers and condolences are with you. Bob was a close friend and teammate at Classical High School. He certainly changed many lives and will be greatly missed.
